My Self-Caring Things

Dew drops on grass blades and tootsies on kittens
Hot tea with milk cream and warm socks a fittins’
Delight when my in-box email tone pings
These are a few of my self-caring things.

‘Zero Water’ with my faves “rise” and go “shine”
On “Journey to the Heart” my mind likes to dine
The birds’ spring time morning chorusing rings
There are a few of my self-caring things.

McAllister winking flickering her lashes
Kitty snuggles till her sharp teeth she nashes
The time to watch my garden bloom into spring
These are a few of my self-caring things.

When body jerks’ bites
When fart stench stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember by self-caring things
And then I don’t feel so bad!

Taking care of myself has become music to my ears these days.

My shingled-out body lets me know loud and clear that self-caring is a necessary priority. And my wise mind is open to hearing and giving this body of mine what it needs to recover. And thankfully so too!

It is important that we have a mountain of ways to take good care of ourselves.

Some days I can’t walk very far and those days I need to nap. Somedays I can wander a bit down the street or out into my yard and soak up the fresh spring air and savor the wonderful colors in my yard… other days a gaze out the window has to do.

The taller our mountain of self-caring things the more likely we will have the appropriate tool to draw upon the moment we need it the most!

What are some of your self-caring things?
